Shalwaar + Blazer: Inspired by WearAbout

A few posts ago I mentionedthat I would like to start incorporating more of my Indian (and other non-Western) clothing into my regular rotation. Kurtas/Tunics with jeans that's easy and pretty common but wear my billowy shalwaar pants to work, that was a bit more intimidating. I turned to one of my favourite blogs for inspiration. WearAbout is for Indian street style what The Sartorialist is for New York.

I'm actually quite happy with how this look came together, and even if it looks a little unusual the best part was the walk to work when two different shop keepers noticed the pants. One gave me a thumbs up. Another shouted "Aray wah! Shalwaar paynee hey? Achi bhaat hey." Roughly translated "Oh wow! You're wearing shalwaar pants? Good job."

That's so awesome that you successfully found a way to wear those pants! :) and even cooler that you recieved approval from others. Way to go! The menswear look works with this so well, and I love the pops of red.
